S12 E41-45 (BECOMING THE LOWEST COST PRODUCER) - PERFORMANCE OF COMAPNY ASSETS WITH WILLIAM EASTMAN

Have You Ever Considered Your Business A Bank?

​​Before we can determine where to add value to a company we need to identify the value of current assets. The answer you are looking for is your ROA - Return on Assets.

The math is simple, and it is nothing more than an extraction from your balance sheet. Once we know how well your investment into tangible and intangible assets perform, it will present the next question - what do I need to do to increase its value or what do I need to add to realize the full potential of my processes.? That question is for next week.

Summary
The production of a product or service requires the investment in equipment, what are your capital investments to determine effective usage. How much did the equipment cost (don't consider platforms you lease or subscribe to), what is its life cycle before replacement, how often does it need to be serviced professionally (costs), what are costs incurred in your preventive maintenance system, what are the warranties/guarantees, does it require manufacturer training.

Topics:

• Balance Sheet
  • Total Liabilities + Owners Equity = Total Assets
• Debt to Assets Ratio
  • Total Liabilities / Total Assets = Debt to Assets Ratio

EPISODE 44: Calculate Intangible Asset Based Value (support podcast)
This is a little more difficult and we are going to take the indirect methods. That is accomplished by looking at the company's pre-tax performance and isolating how much more you made that is not accounted for by ROA.

Topics:

• (Your ROA X Industry Average ROA) - Pretax Earnings = Intangible Asset Brand Value
